hey does any1 have a picture of their aluminum dash kits installed??? And also where did u buy them from ? Thanks

 

on the cardomain site....if your gonna get a kit, get real alum. dont get fake, it sucks. im displeased

 

i do not have a aluminum kit, But IMO i think the fake aluminum looks much better than the real stuff....

 

Alka Plus aluminum dash kit.

 

meanbean,

where did u get that kit at and for how much??? thanks

 

Here is their website http://alkaplus.com/. They also sell some of their kits on ebay under the name "exotic dash" for less than they do on their website. I paid $111 shipped for the kit over a year ago so I don't know how much they are going for now.

 

that's not the real dash is it meanbean?! Looks a little too shiny on the flash be be the real mccoy. I got mine off of eBay and its 100% real but the only disappointmnet i have of the real aluminum kit is that it dents a bit. I've had mine in for nearly 3 years and its showing signs of abuse. But it is far superior to the fakies!

 

so which one on ebay to get? i am not fond on covering my oem wood.

 

Linkage23: Ya, its a fake one. I like the finish of the real aluminum but could never find one that looked raised. The fake ones have the raised look so I went with it instead.

2 Da Max: So do you want to replace yours with brushed aluminum? Here is a link to one that has all the pieces you need. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33705. I would recommend that you remove the existing wood trim kit before installing the new kit. It will be tough because the 3M tape sticks on really well but it can be done with some patience. Remember to clean off excess adhesive with something like goo gone before you apply the new kit to the dash.

I have the fake one off of ebay. I love it. I'de have to agree with crockpot though, I think it looks best when painted.

 

i just bought a brushed aluminum on ebay from alka plus. i paid 116 shipped. the pieces were really thin and flexable nothing like the factory nissan wood. the brushed aluminum was pretty flashy more shine than i expected .i took my wood off cuz i didnt want to lay it over my wood thought it would look weird. i had to send it back cuz they sent me an auto kit when i said i needed the standard. also one of the pices was what looked like to be melted but wasnt a big deal and not very noticeable. before i sent it back i fit it on my dash. you can see some dash behind the kit pieces but still looks pretty good.

in short id say get a cheap ebay kit dont spend over 85-90. unless u have 250 or so to drop on the real factory kind. i think i saw a 30 piece for 55 on ebay. thats probably what il get.

 

its a cheap ebay one but i like it... i've taken my dash apart changing leds a lot in the few years i have had the max and its good i have the cheap one cuz it doesnt dent.... i have gotten a lot of compliments from friends that are both into cars and ones that arent into cars

o i have a pop out dash drawer now instead of the flip down one and that looks better than the drawer in the pics
